Chances are your church doesn't quite look like that. But what if instead of searching for a church that makes us comfortable, we learned to love our church, even when it's challenging? What if some of the discomfort that we often experience is actually good for us? This book is a call to embrace the uncomfortable aspects of Christian community, whether that means believing difficult truths, pursuing difficult holiness, or loving difficult people--all for the sake of the gospel, God's glory, and our joy. -- back cover. 538 Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 404 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 0 Communities|xReligious aspects|xChristianity. 650 0 Interpersonal relations|xReligious aspects|xChristianity. 650 0 Church. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3640932 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://sample- 5e20e286cd405b8572488fffc9be8b88.read.overdrive.com/ ?m=eyJidWlkIjoiNWUyMGUyODZjZDQwNWI4NTcyNDg4ZmZmYzliZThiODg iLCJvZmZsaW5lIjowLCJzeW5jIjowLCJhY2Nlc3MiOiJzIiwiZXhwaXJlc yI6InNlc3Npb24iLCJ0aGVtZSI6InNhbXBsZSIsInRpbWUiOjE3MDY1NDQ zMTQuNDMzODAzMSwidG9rZW4iOiJjOGJlNGEyZC01MzhhLTQzMTAtOTE0M C01N2I5OGNhYzMxM2EiLCJ0ZGF0YSI6eyJDUklEIjoiMGNlZTA3ZWMtMmJ jNC00OTMzLWFjZDEtYzVmOWVmOThjYjJmIiwic2x1ZyI6InVuY29tZm9yd GFibGUiLCJmb3JtYXQiOiI2MTAifX0=& s=eeb680ce82ffdd8599743be10f7b7d4011bad1dc& p=_eyJzbHVnIjoidW5jb21mb3J0YWJsZSIsImZvcm1hdCI6IjYxMCJ9 |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1797-1/ %7B0CEE07EC-2BC4-4933-ACD1-C5F9EF98CB2F%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1797-1/ %7B0CEE07EC-2BC4-4933-ACD1-C5F9EF98CB2F%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
